The Language of the Pentateuch in its Relation to Egyptian V1 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161387070)

""The Language of the Pentateuch in its Relation to Egyptian V1"" by A.S. Yahuda is a scholarly work that explores the relationship between the Hebrew language used in the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) and the ancient Egyptian language. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the linguistic and historical context of the Pentateuch and the second volume delving into the specific linguistic features of the text. Yahuda draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient Egyptian texts, biblical scholarship, and linguistic analysis, to argue that the Hebrew language used in the Pentateuch shows significant influence from Egyptian. He examines specific words and phrases in the text, as well as broader patterns of grammar and syntax, to demonstrate this influence. Overall, ""The Language of the Pentateuch in its Relation to Egyptian V1"" is a detailed and comprehensive study of the Hebrew language used in the Pentateuch, and will be of interest to scholars of biblical studies, linguistics, and ancient history.1933. The main object of this book is to deal with Hebrew-Egyptian relations from the linguistic aspect, and many passages and allusions in the Joseph and Exodus narratives of a distinctly Egyptian coloring have been excluded. The volume contains two sections: the first deals with the Joseph and Exodus narratives, the second with the Genesis stories and a portion of the Patriarchal narratives. Also found within is a table of abbreviations, periods of Egyptian language, and the Egyptian alphabet and the phonetic equivalents in Hebrew.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
